China seriously submitted Wolf Warrior 2… what the hell. I get it was a box office hit there, but that movie is godawful.

Australia managed to get more nominations this decade in Best International Film than China. As someone who loves a lot of Chinese cinema, that’s just sad. (I did love Tanna though, well-deserved nomination)

SO LONG MY SON could have a chance but I think it’s too political for a submission..

It’ll be a hard year for Weathering With You to get in, hope it can do the unthinkable

For Your Consideration:

Best Picture: Weathering With You, Parasite
Best Animated Feature: Weathering With You
Best International Film: Weathering With You, Parasite

About “Dolor & Gloria” being selected by Spain… I was expecting Amenabar´s late movie to be the one picked up. It is too bad that two our most respecful directors had a movie in the same year.
Almodovar has being selected by Spain after the “Talk to Her” fiasco a couple of times and he is yet to be selected by the Academy. Neither “Volver” nor “Julieta” nor “The Skin i Live in”.
Last time Spain was a nominee was with Amenabar and Spain won. Moreover, the last two times a film from Spain was nominated, won

I think Portrait Of A Lady On Fire is still the likelier contender, given its acclaim at Cannes. Plus, Celine Sciamma has been rising through the ranks of notable French directors for the last few years, so don’t be surprised if the French decide she should get a shot at Oscar glory.
